The Glass Scientists Tumblog

Faux Leyendecker-esque cover in celebration of The Glass Scientists by @arythusa coming out in print! I got volume one for my birthday and it's crazy to be able to physically flip through a comic I've been reading on and off for years

If you ever feel like you don't contribute to fandom because you "only" comment—

A regular serial commenter just joined a fandom Discord server I'm on and people are coming out of the woodwork to thank her for her service to the fandom, expressing how much joy her comments on their works bring them.

Remember—they're never only comments.

If you're a reader who gets nervous about leaving comments, please take a moment to read the notes on this post. The tags alone have been giving me life for the past week, and it's honestly lovely.

#fandom isn't about producing fan content anyway#it's about community and engagement#comments on fanworks and interactions with fellow fans IS contributing to fandom#never forget that

Shout-out to @raiphend for the addition of these very correct tags.

People who "only" comment are so so important. I recognise the usernames of people who regularly comment on my fics and I love them all. In fact I love anyone who leaves an uplifting comment on my work, whether it's once or repeatedly. Interaction is so important, it's really nice to feel like you're connecting with people via what you create, even if just for a brief moment.

TGS Mondays save me TGS Mondays..

Lanyon? More like lamppost.

Refrain from squishing the alter ego, he bites

GUYS LOOK AT HIS LITTLE SMILE, I LOVE HIM HES SO CUTE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

For those who have overactive guilt complexes like me…

The cover art for chapter 15 is so beautiful and their little outfits are literally adorable :3

Also living for scared/shocked Hyde, so I drew him basically immediately lmao

Various TGS doodles that I have digitalize from a collection I lovingly call scroll number 1. I randomly drew all of them over the course of like, 2 weeks and some of the physical ones are... certainly better than others (looking at you, bottom right Hyde), but I think I managed to mostly fix them! Doesn't mean I'll draw any of them in a consistent way though 💀

Also, fun fact, I do all my line art for literally everything on MSPaint, and then if I end up coloring it or anything I export it to IbisPaintX on my phone. My opinion? MSPaint goes hard af if you have a drawing tablet, at least as long as your MSPaint has layers, which ig some don't? For some reason?

Anyways, scroll number 2 doodles are probably gonna drop soon bc I genuinely can't stop drawing these guys

"I'll stay awake tonight.."

I can't wait for this chapter to begin

I only have a limited time to make this joke before chapter 15 actually starts

One of my favorite tropes is character with a nasty toxic personality who tries very hard to do the right thing anyway

I like my protagonists sad, tired, bitter, fully convinced they will never get the recognition they deserve, but they still gotta get up in the morning and be a good person
